Super Saturday!!!

As part of the New Gilbert Temple Dedication, the youth in our Temple District have been getting ready for a Cultural Celebration of Gilbert to perform the Saturday before the Dedication.  Saturday was our "Super Saturday" where all 6 regions, 26 Stakes, 13,000 youth age 12-18 got together to practice from 8am to 9pm.  What a day!!!

Dad was able to be an Usher and met up with the girls at one point. (Jamie, Laura, Lafe, Erin)

Found Ethan later :)

Cool Panorama Lafe took of the kids in their "Home" spots.

All the kids on the field!!!  Aren't the colors cool!?!?!

Hard to tell because they bunched up at the picture, but this is our Region performing their song, "The Lucky Ones"

A Photographer in the area that has taken lots of pictures throughout the building and the Celebration caught this  that afternoon.  Just enough clouds to cool the kids down, and the beautiful sun peaking out behind Moroni.

MEANWHILE……. Kelcie, Talin and I went to their school carnival.  It was so strange to only buy two wristbands this year!  Kind of fun to only take the two of them, too!  Here's Talin getting out of the Hamster Ball.

Gotta have snow cones an face paint ( which he reacted to later :(  )

Great day and such a great experience!  The  kids had a blast and were SO TIRED!!!!!!  The sheer magnitude and logistics of all this is incredible!!!!!!  Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience………  CAN'T WAIT  until Saturday!!!  If you want to watch is it's being broadcast on abc15.com at 7pm Arizona Time THIS SATURDAY, March 1.  Join us, and look for Jamie in the Pioneer Clip beating a rug :)
